Energize your teaching and learning with Atomic Learning online technology learning resources

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

CIT’s T&L team is excited to announce the official launch of our new online technology training resource called Atomic Learning!

What is Atomic Learning?
Atomic Learning (AL) is an online technology training library that provides thousands of short, video tutorials on more than one-hundred of the most commonly used software applications, including the major operating systems and browsers, the Microsoft Office Suite, Blackboard, GroupWise, the iLife suite, the Adobe collection of programs, and more.

Who has access to Atomic Learning?
Calvin College has a campus subscription to Atomic Learning which means ALL Calvin faculty, staff and students have access to this resource.

How do I access Atomic Learning?
Atomic Learning can be accessess through KnightVision, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week (24/7). Log into KnightVision > click on the T&L tab near the top of the screen > click on the Access Atomic Learning icon.

How do I use Atomic Learning?
Atomic Learning is organized by software titles and can be searched based on software titles, keywords, or tech questions. “How to use Atomic Learning” tutorials are also available in KnightVision on the T&L tab. Atomic Learning: Getting Started Guide (pdf)

What else do I need to know about Atomic Learning?
While CIT does support select standard software programs, we do not support all of the titles included in Atomic Learning. We are, however, making all of the titles available as additional learning resources for Calvin faculty, staff and students. View CIT’s software service level descriptions

Note: If you attended a training session during the summer and are a pilot user logging into Atomic Learning using Calvin’s generic account, please start accessing AL through KnightVision. This will allow us to better track the usage patterns and statistics. Our generic account will be disabled in the near future.

Questions?
If you have any questions about Atomic Learning or would like to integrate AL resources into your KnightVision course(s), please contact Krista Spahr (x6-6855).
